Wreck

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny Ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man, The Skipper brave and sure, Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour.
A three hour tour. [ sound of thunder: crack! ]
The weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, The Minnow would be lost.
The ship's aground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire and his wife, a movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan's Isle! (Jimbos Vergina Key)

Key Biscayne Marine Stadium


The Key Biscayne Marine Stadium, built in 1964, designed Hilario Candela. Originally used for boat races, but was also used as a location for concerts, and even a few religious services until 1992.

The Stadium has been coming up a lot in the news the last few weeks. Preservationists wish to keep the historic landmark while some city leaders which to demolish the stadium which has become a “hang out” for juvenile delinquents and a homeless shelter.

My first impression of the stadium was positive. Most of the surfaces are covered by graffiti, but that’s nothing that some pressure washing and a fresh coat of paint can’t fix. Then I started to notice huge chucks of concrete that had fallen from an upper walkway. Rusty rebar would stick out 10 to 12 inches from some areas of the structures had cracked.

Things don't look good for the Key Biscayne Marine Stadium, but it can be repaired! If city and county officials would have done the necessary repairs in 1993 it would have cost the City of Miami just one million dollars. The estimated cost of the renovation is yet to be seen.

I’ve seen many other places that were in better shape that the Key Biscayne Marine Stadium: Miami Orange Bowl, Miami Arena, etc. And most of us know what their fate was…

The Miami Arena


Many people aren't aware, but another Miami landmark is under demolition. The Miami Arena is being demolished from the inside out.
Miami Stadium, The Orange Bowl, and now this one.
BUT WAIT! I've recently heard that the Key Biscayne Marine Stadium may be next. City of Miami officials have received an ultimatum. If plans for the Marine Stadium renovations don't materialize soon, it too will be demolished.

Sean Duffy




Today I was called to photograph an art exhibit at the Miami Art Museum. The piece by Sean Duffy is quite unique. It has a Toyota Land Cruiser that's adorn by hand painted zebra stripes and logs, but my favorite part of the exhibit are the singing gas cans that accompany it.
